The First Day at Fairy Academy
Fairy Sam's POV
This is the day that's going to change my opinion on Fairy Godparents forever. I'm now beginning my life as a Fairy Academy cadet. That Jorgen Von Strangle guy is about to introduce me to the other cadets. I'd hate to be coached by him. He seems to be a male counterpart to Ms. Testlaff.
"Attention, rookies." I hear him announce. "As you are probably aware, a wish-granting ghost named Desiree turned a human named Samantha Manson into a Fairy Godparent. Well, here she is. Because she's now one of us she must attend Fairy Academy. I hope you all accept her despite the fact she's originally a human. Now you all run ten laps around the track. NOW. AND NO FLOATING."
While running, I was scared at the idea of being coached by him. But why did he tell us to run? It's obvious I have an advantage as I'm probably the only cadet used to run instead of float and I'm quite taller than the others. I wonder if all fairies start at an younger age than I did.
"Why does Jorgen force us to go through this, Timantha? Shouldn't it be a place for us to learn magic?" I hear a boy ask. I'm glad, or scared, to know this is a regular task but now I wonder what kind of name is Timantha.
"The last time I had the courage to ask him he said fairies must have fast reflections in case of an emergency wish, Brendan." I hear a buck-toothed fairy, probably Timantha, answer.
After that exercise, we practiced target shooting. Discs were launched into air and we had to use our wands to turn them into birds. After that we had a wands-up routine that consisted into using our wands as those bars that we use to exercise our arms by lifting our bodies except that our wands were merely floating. The weirdest part of that was the transformation class. We changed our shapes into anything and we could even switch genders but for some reason I don't know Timantha couldn't be turned into anything male. I would have the chance to ask her tonight since we are roomates.
Once we arrived at our room we POOFed our uniforms away and changed to our regular clothes. The contrast couldn't be bigger as I was wearing my regular Goth clothes and Timantha was wearing pink. Despite it I decided to talk to her.
"Timantha, do you mind if I make a few questions?" I asked her.
"Not at all, Samantha." She answered. "I know this must be confusing for you. What do you wanna know?"
"First, call me Sam." I said. "I don't like being called Samantha, or Sammy for that matter. And I would like to know why you can't be turned into anything male."
"It all happened because of the Buxaplenty Affair." I was now thinking the worst. "Remy Buxaplenty, a rich and envious kid was jealous of my parents' godchild because he had two Fairy Godparents while Remy only had one. As part of his vengeance he trapped me but made a big mistake when he wished me to be premanently female, triggering Da Rules against him. As punishment for it Remy was sentenced to lose his Fairy Godparent, Juandissimo Magnifico, forget he had a Fairy Godparent and never be assigned a fairy again. However, because the wish said 'permanently', I can never return to my original male form or any other male form again."
"Wait a minute." I said in shock. "Are you telling me you used to be a MALE?"
"Yes." She sadly answers.
"Oh, and I was thinking the hostility the other girls seem to fell towards you was just because of that boy they seem to love." I said, still shocked at the fact my roomate was born a boy.
"Do you mean Brandon?" She asked and I nodded. "Yeah, it helped too. Granted, it was hard to them to accept I'm a girl now but it became worse when Brandon and I became a romantic couple."
"Does he know you used to be a boy?" I asked.
"Everybody in Fairy World knows it." I'm shocked not only because of her answer but also because of how easy was for her to say that.
"And is Brandon okay with that?" I asked, surprised about how open-minded fairies can be.
"That surprised me too." She told me. "Specially because he and the boy I once was used to be best friends."
Trying to change the subject, I decided to ask random things. "Timantha, who are these on your pictures?"
"This is my maternal Grandfather, Big Daddy." She said, picking the picture of what seems to be a fairy counterpart of those gangsters of the Depression Era. "This is my paternal Grandmother Mama Cosma." She said as she presented a picture of a green haired woman and then she shows me a picture containing a green haired male fairy, a pink haired female fairy and a buck-toothed boy wearing 'pink?'. "These are my parents, Cosmo and Wanda, and their current godchild, Timmy Turner."
"Timmy Turner?" I asked. "That Timmy Turner Tucker mentioned from the website wwwdotfairiesarerealdotwand? So Crocker was right all that time?"
"Yes." She answered a little scared. "But please don't tell any human about that or he could lose them."
"Da Rules, right?" I asked with a grin and she nodded. "But I can't help but notice your parents' godchild bears too much of a resemblance to you."
What she told me later was what scared me the most. To prevent Mama Cosma and Big Daddy's marriage from nullifying his Fairy Godparents' one, Timmy Turner became a fairy and their son and left a clone of his to be the new Timmy Turner.
"So, like me, you also used to be human?" I asked, still surprised. "Don't you miss it?"
"Yes, I miss my original parents a lot but at least I can see them when I visit my new ones while they're godparents to the new Timmy Turner. And I didn't like the idea of forgetting my Fairy Godparents once I lost them." She explained to me.
"Forgetting them?" I asked.
"Once the Fairy Godparent/Godchild relationship ends the Godchild must forget everything about us." Timantha explained me.
"I understand." I said. "But how does the godchild sorting system works?"
"Fairy Godparents are assigned to the unhappiest kids on Earth and must make them happy." Was Timantha's answer.
"But how did that Remy Buxaplenty get a Fairy Godparent?" I asked.
"Becuase his parents only talk to him for two minutes a day he was, after a long debate, considered unhappy enough to need one despite his family's wealth." She explained.
"And what happened to Juandissimo Magnifico?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Because he willingly helped Remy and even gave him ideas of how to carry out his vengeance rather than being reluctantly forced to help he was sentenced to ten years of community service and after that he'll have to wait other ten years before being assigned another godchild." She explained me.
"But why did Juandissimo agree to help Remy?" I asked.
"He's a former boyfriend of my Mom." She explained. "He would do anything to take her away from Dad or at least get even with him for marrying her."
"Sounds like Plasmius." I said.
"Who?" She asked and then I told her all about him.
"No wonder Danny Phantom calls him a fruitloop." She commented. "But now we'd better to sleep because we must wake up early around here."
I nodded in agreement and we went to our beds.
I know it's a filler so please don't review just to tell me that. I just felt the need to make a chapter showing Fairy Sam adapting to her life. I intend to bring more action in the next chapter. Please R&R.
